Debutant Ben Foakes’ unbeaten 61 saw England recover from a shocking top-order collapse to see off an Ireland challenge by four wickets in a one-off ODI on Friday. England, despite being the world’s top-ranked side in ODI cricket and the hosts of the upcoming 50-over World Cup, collapsed to 66 for 5 chasing a decent 199 for victory after the match was reduced to 45 overs per side due to a wet outfield.
